yeah. kinda like the gears of war sets (TFC i think?) and the FP classics prime trailer who came with a pile of weapons for other classics guys.
I can only speak for the first Gear of War set, but the included weapons were a bit crap. Mainly because they were all chromed, and they all needed assembly, but the designers did not factor in the extra thickness that the chrome would add when designing the molds. So they are quite a pain in the arse to put together, and you better make a decision on how you want them to remain forever the first time! Because good luck to you if you ever want to get them apart.
Of course, I mainly bought the set for the ladder for Inferno. And other then some obnoxious "TFC" branding on the side, it is a nice ladder. Also, the Autoscout is quite nice.
I never bothered even assembling the giant transclearent orange plastic box for Mirage to stand in. That just struck me as a complete waist of space.
As for the weapons included with the G3 Trailer for Classics Prime, they are great weapons! But hardly "generic" as Maxman was hoping for. One is a small gun for Bumblebee, one is a new better gun for Hound designed to be able to attach to both of his modes. One is a shoulder canon for Sideswipe. One is a sword for Grimlock. And finally, a shoulder canon for Mirage.
I suppose
technically any of them could be used with other figures. Only Mirage's is entirely specific to his mold, where as others should work with figures that have similarly sized peg holes. but they are still far from generic.
Didn't the BTS trailer for Classics Prime also come with a few weapons? Were those designed with specific figures in mind, or were they more generic?
